The problem
A driving school in Oujda juggles three instructors, two cars and sixty candidates with a paper notebook. Candidates call to book or cancel, slots stay empty, and nobody knows exactly how many hours each candidate has left.
The solution, step by step
- Each instructor gets a Calendly calendar with real slots per car.
- Candidates book and cancel via the link shared on WhatsApp Business; cancellations reopen the slot instantly for others.
- A Zapier zap logs every completed lesson in Google Sheets: candidate, hours done, hours remaining in the package.
- After each lesson, the candidate receives an automatic summary: hours left, next booking, exam readiness.
- When the theory or practical exam date is set, reminders fire at J-7 and J-1 with the meeting point.
- Instructor idle hours drop by around 30% as cancelled slots are refilled.
- No more "how many hours do I have left?" calls — the sheet answers.
- Candidates better prepared on exam day, improving the first-attempt pass rate the school advertises.
